Microneedling procedures allow for controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair mechanism by creating micro-“injuries” in the skin, which triggers new collagen synthesis. The result is smoother, younger-looking skin. Microneedling procedures are performed in a safe and precise manner with the use of the sterile needle head. The procedure is normally completed within 30– 60 minutes, depending on the required procedure and treatment area. Safe for all skin types.
Skin is slightly red immediately following the treatment. However, redness should resolve within 24-72 hours following the treatment. Skin feels slightly sunburned. Results are seen around 7 days.
Microneedling Improves:
• Fine lines and wrinkles • Acne • Stretch marks • Scars • Skin tone • Loose skin • Large pores • Discoloration
For optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended.
